"I'll take the first strike, draw the card!"

Ryo Marufuji, who is using the [Cyber ​​Dragon] deck, has no need for the first attack. Rather, he only takes the initiative to give way. He has no intention of competing with Katsuya to take the initiative and watches the opponent withdraw from the deck.

A card.

The blond woman named "Mai" behind Katsuya did not stand far away. With her excellent eyesight as a duelist, she immediately saw Katsuya's hand, which had no intention of hiding it, and was slightly surprised.

He said: "These cards? It's been a long time since I last saw them, but is it really good to duel with these cards?"

"Don't overturn the car."

"Hmph, there is a saying that the key to determining the outcome of a duel is not the performance of the duel monster card, right? I am very strong." Katsuya pointed at himself with his thumb and said confidently, "And they are with you.

I've been fighting with my old friends for a long time, so don't underestimate them."

"In my main phase, I activate the normal magic card [Reinforcement], and add a warrior-type monster with level 4☆ or lower from my deck to my hand. I chose this level 4☆ [Fighting Flame].

Swordsman】.”

"Then, normal summon [Swordsman of Fighting Flame] in attack position."

After hearing Katsuya's words, Ryo Marufuji remembered the card [Swordsman of Fire]. He remembered that card was a level 5☆ fusion monster. However, in the early stages of Duel Monsters, there seemed to be versions of normal monsters, which did not count.

It is very rare, so there are many users, but the most famous one is the legendary duelist, Katsuya Castle of the Black Dragon.

However, as the environment of dueling monsters continues to change, the [Swordsman of Fire] that was still available at the beginning has long been unable to keep up with the times. Unexpectedly, we can still see the advanced cards of [Swordsman of Fire] today.

In the corridor, flames began to spread under Yu Katsuya's feet, and the ring-shaped flames rose up like a fire dragon. Among them, a warrior appeared, pulling out the heavy sword made of flames that was stuck on the ground.

The red skirt wrapped around her waist fluttered with the air heated by the flames.

"Fire draws the sword! When the flaming dragon and the Dou Yan Sword intersect, the true red sword will pierce the evil!" There was a roll call with unknown meaning, and Katsuya put the card on the duel plate, "Come out, [Dou Yan]

Swordsman]!"

The flames around the warrior holding the epee engraved with the word "Douyan" subsided slightly, allowing Ryo Marufuji to see its specific data and appearance. However, before checking the monster's data, Ryo Marufuji's sight was

It stayed on the face of [Swordsman of Fighting Flame].

Does this face look familiar?

"Why are you so excited all of a sudden? It turns out you are using this card." Behind Katsuya, Mai couldn't help but hold her forehead, "I really don't understand why you men are so excited to fight with a card that looks the same as you?"

"Isn't that natural? The sense of immersion. What's important is the sense of immersion. Wouldn't it be cool to fight with cards that are exactly the same as your own?" Although he is not young, Katsuya still can't help it like a child who has not grown up.

Showing an excited smile, "It's exciting just thinking about it, isn't it? Especially this point, Mai, you see, the attack power and defense power of the [Partner of Justice - Kaibaman] card are both very low, right?

The attack power, defense power, and effect of my [Fighting Flame Swordsman] are also higher than his."

"Then why didn't you say that [Kaibaman, the partner of justice] also has the ability to specially summon [Blue Eyes White Dragon]? After all, you are just competing with that annoying president."

While the woman named Mai was communicating with Katsuya, Ryo Marufuji temporarily put away his doubts about "why that card looks so similar to the other card" and looked at the specific values ​​of [Swordsman of Fighting Flame].

【Swordsman of Fighting Flame】【4☆/Fire】

【Warrior/Effect】

【1800/1600】

"The attack power of 1800 points and the defense power of 1600 points are already good panel data for a 4☆ monster." Ryo Marufuji looked at Katsuya and said, "Other than that, that card sounds like

Does it have any useful effects?"

"Isn't that of course? This card was made based on me. I am not a 'mundane' or a 'mediocre person'." Katsuya said with a smile, "The effect of [Fighting Flame Swordsman] is

Two, each can be used once in one round."

"Activated when [Fighting Swordsman] is summoned or special summoned successfully, add a magic or trap card with [Fire Swordsman]'s card name from my deck to my hand. I choose

It’s this continuous magic card [Fire Sword Realm].”

"And activate this continuous magic card [Sword of Fire]. When I successfully summon a warrior-type monster with a fire attribute, the opponent cannot activate the card's effect."

The slightly dissipated flames did not extinguish. At this moment, with the blessing of the newly activated continuous magic card, they rose up. The [Fighting Flame Swordsman] surrounding Katsuya's field turned into a spiraling flame vortex, and then

Looking at the highest point of the flame, an almost physical head has been condensed. It is clearly a coiled dragon of flame!

"Are you activating this continuous magic card after a monster has already been summoned?"

Hearing Marufuji Ryo's question, Katsuya wiped the tip of his nose with his finger and said with a confident smile: "Hey, there's no rule that a card can only have one effect, right? The effects of [Fire Sword Domain] are not only sustainable, but

In addition to the first effect, there are two other effects. And now, what I want to activate is its second effect."

"Send a face-up monster in my hand or on the field to the graveyard to activate its second effect. The monster I send to the graveyard is [Fighting Flame Swordsman] in attack position on the field." Will be exactly the same as myself.

[Swordsman of Fire] was sent to the graveyard without hesitation. Katsuya took out a monster card with a purple border and showed it to Ryo Marufuji, "Then, use [Swordsman of Fire] as a fusion summon from my

Special summons from the fusion deck!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Fire draws the sword! The true red sword will penetrate evil and burn everything!"

"Fusion Summon! [Swordsman of Fire]!"

The entangled flames poured into the body of the [Swordsman of Fighting Flame] on Katsuya's field, and the convergent flames erased the word "fight" on the giant sword in his hand, leaving only a simple word "fire", and its specific

There is no change in the attack power and defense values, but the level has increased from 4☆ to 5☆.

【Swordsman of Fire】【5☆/Fire】

【Warrior/Fusion】

【1800/1600】

Watching Katsuya turn the monsters on the field into a blank fusion monster after a few operations, Marufuji felt inexplicably underestimated. After all, the monster in his deck was the "cornerstone"—

- [Electronic Dragon] is also a level 5☆ monster, but it can be specially summoned directly from the hand without consuming the number of normal summons. Even with the same defensive power, its attack power is higher than [Fire Swordsman].

Out 300 points.

"Ah, that's the feeling." He looked at the silent Marufuji in a daze, but Katsuya across from him suddenly said, "Although you didn't say anything, you looked at [Flame No.

The Swordsman's eyes are also very calm, but from the bottom of your heart, you are looking down on the [Swordsman of Fire]."

With one hand hanging down and the other on his waist, Katsuya sighed in a rather sad tone: "It seems that a long time has passed without realizing it. I obviously feel that I am seizing the time to use the class with my friends during the break.

The duel at the table is still the same as what happened yesterday, but in the blink of an eye it was already so long ago."

"Young man over there, do you know a man named Jonouchi?"

Hearing Katsuya's words, Marufuji Ryo was a little puzzled, but he still gave his answer out of courtesy. Because he and Tenjoin Fubuki, who was a Jonouchi fan, were classmates in the past, even though Marufuji Ryo did not take the initiative

I understand and know a lot about the deeds of the world champion Jonouchi.

"I respect him very much. He shouldered the burden of his parents' divorce alone, determined to succeed, and finally became a world-class professional duelist." After a pause, Marufuji Ryo added, "But as far as I know, he

His dueling style is purely intuitive, and often involves recklessness and luck. So far, he has never defeated another legendary duelist Seto Kaiba even once. In this regard, I think he can even be called a somewhat

For 'stupid' people."

Katsuya was originally very happy to hear the first half of the words, but when he listened to the second half, he showed an embarrassed expression of "asking for humiliation". He scratched his cheek and said in a strange tone: "

Very, very correct evaluation.”

"But you know, the final formation of his dueling style has a lot to do with his personal experience and personality. It cannot be changed if he wants to. Rather, each duelist has his own unique characteristics.

It’s your own style, and there is no predecessor’s path to follow.”

Katsuya's words are completely different from the education Marufuji Ryo received in the past, because in his earliest education, the first thing to do in the "Electron Flow" duel was to skillfully use [Electronic Ogre],

From [Electronic Dragon] to the final [Electronic Termination Dragon], the growth along the way is the path of the predecessors passed down by the "Electronic Flow" for many years.

However, this man from Katsuya said that no one can walk on the path of their predecessors?

No, Ryo Marufuji understood that there was nothing missing in his words. It was not that duelists could walk on the path of their predecessors, but duelists like that were not real duelists. Ryo Marufuji understood what Katsuya meant.

.

Surprisingly, he did not refute Katsuya's theory, but listened quietly.

Looking at the [Fire Swordsman] on the duel plate, the man named Katsuya showed a nostalgic smile: "Some people are born to use tactics of liberating monsters or seizing cards;"

"Some people are not good at attacking, so they do the best in defense and counterattack;"

"Some bastards do whatever they want just because they have money. They fill their decks with powerful cards and often use matching cards in sets without shuffling them;"

Although there seemed to be a bit of personal bias mixed in, Katsuya finally did it for himself, "And some people don't have enough money to buy powerful cards, and don't have enough emotional hearts to easily resonate with the cards. They can only

I pieced together cards bit by bit and gained my own growth through repeated failures.”

"The peak of life is represented by numerical values. If the highest is 100, some people start from the position of 99, some people start from the position of 0, and some people have to start from the position of negative numbers, even if they work hard for a long time

It just changed from a negative number to 0."

"If you use cards to represent the four types of people I mentioned before, the first type of person represents magic cards, the second type of person represents trap cards, and the third type of person represents a powerful effect monster. But the fourth type of person represents

The representative is a weak ordinary monster, also known as the so-called 'mortal bone'."

“My youth is the youth I spent with the contemptuous name ‘Mortal Bone’ and the monster ‘Mortal Bone’.”

After a pause, Katsuya suddenly stretched out his right fist and said with a confident smile: "However, there has never been a reason why 'Mortal Bones' cannot defeat the superior 'powerful monsters'. Don't underestimate Mortal Bones, young man, even if

Even mortal bones are burning with fire in their hearts."

"Light it up, [Swordsman of Fighting Flames]!"

With the appearance of the mortal bone fusion monster [Swordsman of Fire], the flames that were gradually extinguished suddenly rose again under Katsuya's shout, turning into a long winding flame dragon again!?

"The second effect of [Fighting Swordsman] can be activated when this card is sent to the graveyard!" Katsuya held a card in his hand and showed it to Marufuji Ryo, "From my deck, Fusion

In the deck, send all monsters other than [Fighting Swordsman] with [Fire Swordsman] in the card name to the graveyard. The card I sent to the graveyard is this [Flying Flame Dragon] in the deck.

-Flying Dragon Flame]!"

If Ryo Marufuji remembers correctly, the card name [Flying Dragon Flame] seems to be a very early equipment magic card. Not only [Flamy Swordsman], but also the early equipment card [Flying Dragon Flame] has also evolved into an effect monster.

Yet?

The card of [Flying Flame Dragon - Flying Dragon Flame] was sent to the graveyard, but the flames on Katsuya's field did not change at all. Even though they were still burning, Katsuya continued: "And by [Fighting Flame Swordsman]

[Flying Dragon - Flying Dragon Flame] sent to the graveyard also has an effect and can be activated. If this card is sent to the graveyard, add a magic/trap card of [Flying Dragon Flame] from my deck to my hand.

, I chose [Flying Dragon Flame Fusion]!”

"Then, activate the equipment magic card [Dragon Flame Fusion]!"

Listening to Katsuya's operation, Marufuji secretly analyzed it. After the opponent's series of operations, it seemed that a lot of cards were used, but if you look closely, you can find that the opponent just used it from beginning to end.

I used a [Reinforcement] to search for [Swordsman of Fighting Flame], and then I kept moving a card to search. Katsuya still has five cards in his hand.

However, if you use fusion magic cards, you will still lose a lot of cards in your hand, so it’s nothing—huh?

Looking at the card that Katsuya inserted into the duel disk, even Ryo Marufuji was a little surprised: "Equipment magic card, [Flying Dragon Flame Fusion]?"

It’s clear that both the card picture and the name have a [fusion] style, so how could this card be an equipment magic card?

"No one stipulates that the name of an equipment magic card cannot have the word 'fusion' in it, right? Even though I say that, I actually want to complain about the name of this card." Katsuya also said helplessly,

Point to the only monster on your field, "Only warrior-type and fire-attributed monsters can equip this [Dragon Flame Fusion]. It can increase the equipped monster's attack power by 700 points and replace one destruction."

"But each of the previous cards has more than one effect. How can [Dragon Flame Fusion] hold it back? When the monster equipped with [Dragon Flame Fusion] is a fusion monster on my field, I can combine this card and the equipment.

The fusion monster of this card is sent to the graveyard together, and its second effect is activated, which is also a 'fusion' effect that truly fits its name!"

"From my fusion deck, I will special summon one [Fire Swordsman], or a fusion monster with the [Fire Swordsman] card name as a Fusion Summon, and the monster I want to special summon is this one.

The ultimate swordsman who uses his body of mortal bones to rival the gods and evolves all the hot-blooded flames such as Cangyan, Douyan, and Gangyan to the extreme!"

"Fire draws the sword! In order to protect important things at all times, the miraculous path opened up by perseverance! The hero appears!"

"Fusion Summon! [Swordsman of Extreme Flame]!"

(Sorry, I went to the wrong set, it’s the next one)
